Orienteering race (MSW3) 23:33 [3] 2.59 km (9:06 / km) +79m 7:54 / km
ahr:151 max:178 (sick) shoes: Inov8 212 (black & red)
Granite Hills Park - course 3 (M55)
Great bush sprint with phi and butterfly loops on a hillside with views towards the Melbourne skyline. Off in pairs, me with Steve Cooper from SA, a good pairing given how close we'd been the day beforehand. A bit wayward to 1 as was dragged to the left by one of the elites. Caught by Shano, my minute man, who had the same loops as me. Lost him at 9 (was also 5) when I went to the L and hit the road and ended up relocating of 4 (what was I doing?) Not too bad through the butterflies except for 18 which I overshot. A cruel uphill finish.

La Trobe University - course 3 (M50)
A far more straightforward course than the previous afternoon (the NOL relay was very complex). Only significant time loss was at 16, maybe the easist control on the course, where I had the control was on the building behind. Particularly annoying as I had been watching the elite who had the same finishing loop for an hour before I went out.

Orienteering race (MSW1) 15:48 [3] 2.72 km (5:48 / km) +14m 5:39 / km
ahr:150 max:167 (sick) shoes: Inov8 212 (black & red)
Overnewton College - course 3 (M50)
Hesitated in the way to 2 as was trying to get my head around the hexagonal building in the middle of the campus. Okay after that but probably lost some time as I always went the same way the large, irregular shaped building. We were spared the mud the longer courses went through. Didn't push myself and pleased to come second.

Deakin University - course 3 (M50)
No problems with the first 3. Couldn't work out the multi-level route to 4, despite an attempted description in the course notes, so went the longer but safer way to the south. Completely lost it coming out of 5 as I started to navigate to 9 and ended up a 2! Found the artificial barriers around 7 and 8 and bit too contrived. Next screw up was with 10 as I couldn't work out how to get into the covered walkway as I was faced with a building running in from the car park. I even tried going up the stairs before seeing someone coming out of the door to the corridor was the control was - not happy.

Note
(sick)
Not getting any better, not getting any worse, just plain frustrating. Not sure I'll be up for much sprinting this weekend.
